5 things I'd buy my cats for Christmas in the early Black Friday sale

The sale might officially start next week, but the Black Friday cat deals are already rolling in, and I've seen some impressive early bargains already.

Since December is right around the corner, I'll be taking full advantage of these discounts, and getting my cats' Christmas presents sorted in advance. Now is also a great time to stock up on everyday essentials, like food and toys, to save yourself money in the long run. Or, you might want to treat yourself to some pet tech that you've had your eye on for a while but is usually too expensive (like the best microchip cat flap).

I don't usually get my cats Christmas presents of their own, but this year, I'm excited to fill up their stocking with toys, treats, and accessories. I've already given them one of the best advent calendars for cats, and I can't wait for them to open the little windows every day next month.

If you want to get ahead of your Christmas shopping too, I've rounded up the best early Black Friday deals below. Before adding them in, I've run a price-check using CamelCamelCamel to ensure it really is a valid discount (and retailers haven't just put the price up the week before). All of these products have been tested by my cats, Chilli and Nala, or one of the PetsRadar team's cats, so you can feel assured that they're worth your money.
